So my wallet flashes... I'm 300 mil richer and I don't know why. I get an eve mail from a 3 day old player saying he had mistakenly bought a dc 2 from me for 300 mil and would like the isk back.

I spend the next hour racking my brain, trying to figure out the scam. Did he mistype, if I am foolishly nice and return the isk, is there some petition he can file and pull back his isk, getting me out even more. What is the scam, what is his angle? An hour later, I finally realize... Yes, i did put a such a sell order. Oops.

So anyone else forget they were scamming and tried to figure out a non-existent scam?

This is priceless.

Thank you for a nice laugh. I needed it.


I can't say I've ever had anything like this happen.

You had the lowest sell order up and he bought the highest for 300. So automatically he buys yours

I'm far too lazy to scam anyone; I can't be bothered with the mental agility required, I'd much rather just fight unfairly.

Say it ain't so! If this ever gets back to Mittens, you'll forever be exiled for besmirching the honor of the Goonswarm Federation.

You would be surprised how much even day one characters can have.

It happens, I placed my hundred thousand implants the other day, the next day I seemed to had a 900m sale from one of the implants, to me it appeared the someone tried to place an order 90m but typed in a 0 to many, the sale auto-processed to my sale. I was confused too at first.
